MacGruber on Peacock, for all its flaws, has the same batting average the character has always had. He is, for good and for ill, the same at any length.
-
The show still goofs amusingly on how the one-man-army brand of patriotism sold by so many action movies is actually just raging narcissism, and Forte remains an expert at poor attempts to disguise a tantrum as laconic cool. ... It’s a shame, though, that this supersized version can’t sustain its satirical ambitions or its goofy emotional notes as well as, say, a longer-form Ferrell effort like Talladega Nights.
-
This latest incarnation hasn’t quite reached the popping point for the brand, but it also doesn’t feel like TV has somehow become its ideal vehicle. The standout parts are still every bit as funny, while the gaps between those parts have only grown.
-
Watched consecutively, the flaws overwhelm the strengths. Viewed a week apart, it might be like revisiting an old friend, remembering what fans increasingly love about the original movie. Back-to-back, the comedy explodes.

Dec 21, 2021Not funny with stale material and very predictable jokes. That about sums it up.

Feb 2, 2022Silly yet entertaining with a surprising high production value to it. Worth a watch if you dont mind switching off for some cheap jokes.
